n | i CHAUTAUQUA M0NEYST0LEN THIEF ENTERED HOME OF WM. PORTER AND CARRIED OFF $25x0 MONEY RECEIVED FROM SALE OF TICKETS-J. E. TATTERSFIELD'S •HOME ENTERED. From Monday's Daily Star and Wave On Friday night a thief entered the home of William Porter, at 1020 Lafayette street and secure-1 $25 in cash. It i- thought that he was the same nun. that made - bofU attempt at robt b< ry it the Foster home about a square at. a* oil the same night. Aft r gaining entrance the thief went , to the bedroom of Mr. Porter on the i. second floor and carefyllv removed his ' =li:rl and several other pieces of wear- j ing apparel from a chair oy his bedside and then took his trousers. The I shirt was placed on the chair and the < n trouwrs were found lianging in a closet ' | on the first floor minus $25 which was j I money received from the sale of Chau- ) | tauqua tickets. i | Although in a way Mr. Porter was 1 | unfortunate he should congratulate ' | himself that the sum of money stolen J I was no larger. Had he been as usual i

I at the drug store on Friday evening he I would have received a much larger j amount as Captain Cruger had about I $200 which he would have turned over ' to him, and it is probable that the . entire amount would have been taken. } SATURDAY MORNING ATTEMPT ' About 1 o'clock Sunday morning Mrs. ; J. E. Tattersfield surprised a burglar J ;it her home, 30 Guernef street. When she returned home aboitts.1 ; o'clock he was on the first floor but . he escaped as usual without detection. Nothing was missing. , war hits court house Owing to the war in Europe, the big' 1 leather plant at Cape May Court House closed down last week. The company ' operating the plant has its main office ! at Hamburg, Germany, and under the ] present conditions it is impossible to 1 ship the product* of the plant to the I off"oe of distribution. The employes ' have been laid off indefinitely. AUTOMOBILE HITS MOTORCYCLE i While riding a motorcycle on Broad- 1 way. West Cap- May. yesterday morn- ] ' lar.-i.ee Howard, of Cold .Spring, , was struck by an automobile driven by i Zack.ray Dickinson, of the same place. ' Howard escaped injury, but the motori cycle was so badly damaged that it was '• to have it repaired. ' ATTORNEY-GENERAL TO INVESTIGATE FOOD PRICES > Governor Fielder yesterday directed * Attorney-General Wescott and the twen- , ty-one county prosecutors of the State <1 to investigate every combination that " may exist in New Jersey to boost the J

• price of food. The Governor declares 1 that if there is any combination among speculators and dealers to raise food prices such combination may be prosecuted under the Seven Sisters anti.tniat laws of this State.. If a combination is^ound. Grand Jurv action i. called for bv the Governor. ' Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear.

BIG SMOKER AT [j CORINTHIAN - DR. EDWARD I CATTELL ADV03 CATES HAPPINESS AS THE KEYNOTE TO POWER AT YACHT CLUB AFFAIR— NEARLY TWO HUNDRED ' PRESENT. From Monday's Daily Star aad Ware Dr. E. J. Cattell, chief of the Bureau . of Contracts and Statistics, of Philadel. ' phia and corresponding Secretary of the Atlantic ' Inland Waterways Asso- ' elation, was the chief speaker at tbe ' smoker at? the Corinthian Club .Saturday evening. Xearlv two hundred guests , were present. Robert Grier was toastmaster. The Logaa Minstrel troupe, composed of thirteen members rendered several fine selections which were very much enjoyed and were joined in by the guests in rendering some of the latest songs. Mr. Oattelt said In part. *1 am most to he. with the Corinthian Yacht flub and friends, this evening, for I sympathise with the work performed by chibs of this character. I think we under rate the duty of being happy, for I believe happiness is the real jiarent of real power. Half of our trouble, in America have been due to morbid way of looking at, things, resulting from a neglect of the body— a failure to allow the body snfficient leisand pleasure to make it a safe and willing servant of the mind and soul 9 mind apd

r We are all apt to borrow trouble. This is bad business. One morning Mr. Car.' lyle called on his neighbor and said, r "Madam, you will have to sell those ; game cocks, they keep me awake all night crowing." The woman replied, ' You exaggerate, the poor birds only erow three times each night. Each crowonly lasts three seconds. What is nine seconds of snffering to a big man like , you?" "Madam," exclaimed Carlyle, "'You don't know what 1 Snffer waiting for the darn things to crow.! We in the United States are in ox- . actlv in the position of Mr. Carlyle. We aje suffering terribly "waiting "for something to happen." L<-t us look fact in the face. 1-ct us take our oourage in both bands. The country never was I in a better condition to face a crisis . . than it is today. All sectional feeling . ha, been outgrown. We are a united people-^a hundred million clean living, 'dealing, xvell educated, home loving people living in a land more richly , endowed by the Creator than any other " on the face of the earth! We have tested by time: we have passed successfully throuh- many crisis. We have the finest commercial and financial leadership. We have just inaugurated what i regard the best financial system in the world. No great lalior troubles threaten. No crop failure in any direcis foreshadowed. While the war has brought, a sudden check to international trade, it has merely delayed the marketing of our crops and not destroyed them. This war is going to teach many valuable lessons to the American people. The complete tip-up of foreign trade, and the closing of all stock exchangee, will bring home to thousands the les. son that the producer and the consumer are not the only factors in bnsiness life. The much abused "middle man" like the the exporter and importer, the dealer in securities and the whole army which handles raw and manufactured products between producer and consumer. are absolutely necessary to our bv day life. Notwithstanding the uncertain condition, now prevailing, I remain a confirmed optimist. I wish to go on record again as believing that v<| go on record again believing that

• within eighteen months this country '■ will enter upon the greatest era of | prosperity ever enjoyed by any country in any age on anv continent."
